A 16-Day Bora Bora Itinerary with Conrad and Westin Stays

Breakfast can take a while. So can the view. A few outings, two resort stays, and plenty of room to enjoy being here.

A relaxed Bora Bora stay with ten nights at Conrad Bora Bora Nui, five at the Westin, and time for the lagoon, a Vaitape visit, and open resort days.

THE TRIP, IN A FEW WORDS

Make a few plans.
Leave the rest open.

Begin at the Conrad, with time for a scenic flight, a visit to Vaitape, and a half-day lagoon outing. Most days stay deliberately light, with breakfast, time around the resort, and a dinner to look forward to.

Move to the Westin for the last five nights and a different base. Singing bowls and flower-crown making are ideas from this route, with the final flight back to Tahiti ending the Bora Bora portion.

A LITTLE ORIENTATION

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Planning your Bora Bora stay

One resort or two?

Ten Conrad nights and five Westin nights give each stay time to settle. A change also uses time for packing, checkout, luggage, and a boat transfer. With fewer nights, compare that move with the outings you most want before choosing two bases.

Keep the water day simple

The snorkeling outing is the main appointment on Day 8. Confirm the pickup and return, then keep lunch and the afternoon flexible. Arrange any microlight outing around the full passenger schedule before setting the first resort transfer.

BORA BORA · FIVE NIGHTS

The Westin Bora Bora Resort & Spa

The second base, with time to settle in and choose from the activities currently offered during your stay.

Find it on the map

The separate Tahiti departure-night option uses Hilton Hotel Tahiti. It is outside the fifteen Bora Bora nights shown here.

AN OPTIONAL EXTRA

A Tahiti night before the flight home.

A separate Tahiti overnight can make the onward flight easier. Add it around your connection rather than counting it as another Bora Bora night.

Fly from Bora Bora to Tahiti

Arrange the island flight and resort boat transfer together. Check the current airline baggage allowance for your own fare.

Hilton Hotel Tahiti

This is the overnight hotel in this route. Arrange the airport transfer and luggage around check-in.

Dinner at La Strada

La Strada is the evening restaurant idea. Confirm current opening and reservations if it fits your arrival.

Leave room for departure

Arrange the next airport transfer around your actual international flight. Add another night if the connections work better that way.

A NOTE FROM ALISHA & MATT

A few outings.
A dinner plan.
Room to linger.

This is a stay with some activities in it. Keep the open days open, and let the resort change give the second half a different rhythm.

Alisha & Matt
01

Coordinate the first transfer carefully.

If adding a microlight flight before going to the resort, confirm the meeting point, luggage arrangements, passenger format, and total finish time before setting the boat pickup.

02

Plan the resort change with both teams.

Ask the Conrad and Westin to coordinate the transfer. Confirm the route, luggage handling, and charges directly rather than assuming a shuttle or late checkout is included.

03

Keep the activity list flexible.

Snorkeling and scenic flying depend on conditions. Resort talks, music, workshops, and dining arrangements can change, so confirm the options available during your visit.

BEFORE YOU GO

A few good questions.

Does sixteen days include the international flights?

No. It starts with arrival at Bora Bora Airport and finishes when you leave Bora Bora for Tahiti. The optional Tahiti overnight and international flights are separate.

Why are some days grouped?

Several days are deliberately open for the resort, with dinner as the main appointment. The grouped days make that pace clear without filling every afternoon with another outing.

Can we take the microlight flight together?

Ask the operator about the current aircraft and passenger format. Allow enough time for separate flights if required before arranging the resort transfer.

Are the resort activities and restaurant times fixed?

No. The names come from this route. Confirm current menus, availability, schedules, and reservations directly with the resorts.

Is this a shorter highlights itinerary?

The fifteen-night stay leaves many open resort days. With fewer nights, choose the outings and resort split that matter most, and allow for the time used by a hotel change.
